So Many Ways To Say He Doesn't Care

What the white house needs is to rip out the plumbing and invest in a complete re-piping, and putting new curtains on the windows won't do anything to solve that problem. The public just ain't buying the staff change effort to boost the public's confidence in this administration. The general public doesn't give a crap if it is Scott McClellan or Tony Snow who shovels bullshit out by the truck load to us, and the fact that this administation thinks that it somehow does speaks volumes about their opinion of the intelligence of the American people.

The recent poll numbers indicate that the American people aren't impressed with the "shake up" in the white house. People are starting to wake up and aren't as easily fooled. If you keep insisting on a course but it presents no results, at least not the results that people are looking for, eventually they'll stop believing in you.

I'm not at all surprised by the numbers considering what Bush thinks about his job as president. President of the United States. It is the highest level one person can achieve in their political career. Parents dream of their children growing up to obtain this position. Imagine, for a moment, the opportunities that present themselves just by being in that position. Imagine all of the influential people you would meet, functions you would attend, countries you would visit.... are you picturing it? Now ask yourself, what would be the best moment you could experience as POTUS? Are you picturing it? Was it....

"I would say the best moment of all was when I caught a 7.5 pound (3.402 kilos) perch in my lake," he told the newspaper in an interview published on Sunday.

That's what George W. Bush's answer was when asked what his best moment was in more than five years in office.

So it's no wonder that his poll numbers are so low. I don't think it's so much that he's completely incompetent as a president; it's more that he just doesn't give a shit about his job.
